Dave Georgeson, l’ex-chef de projet de Tribes2 qui travaille actuellement sur Planetside, vient de répondre à un thread sur les forums officiels de Planetside à propos d’accusation sur son travail:
Tribes 2 and management: EmperorDarkside…I don’t usually reply to threads like this because a) everyone has an opinion and that opinion is just as valid as everyone else’s opinion…including mine, and b) if I argued against someone’s opinion, then the only one that could possibly lose would be me. (My responses are, suffice it to say, milder than I would use in everyday life because my position requires me to at least *try* to be professional. 😉
That being said, I liked T2 the way it ended up a lot (the July version…not the March version). The Beta testers that said they « weren’t listened to » are partially right and partially wrong. We listened to everything…but that doesn’t mean we had the time or resources to put everything in, so many of them think we ignored them completely. I think it’s a pretty well known fact now that we were pretty rushed at the end there. Like I said…the July version was what we (the Dev team) intended to ship but we simply didn’t get the time.
As to what team members say or don’t say about me…well…remember that sometimes what a manager does is not always that manager’s decision. I worked for a very large corporation and had to do a lot of things I would rather not have done. Luckily, the mistakes that were made in that other company don’t seem to be being made here at SOE. I’m *very* happy about that…and it’s a large part of why I’m working here now.
It is true, however, that I have a pretty firm management style and I require a lot from the folks that work for me. Not everyone wants to work hard in this industry or play along with the ground rules that I set up. Those folks usually get pretty annoyed with me since I don’t often take « no » for an answer. 😉
Okay…’nuff said…back to work. I hope this helps.
Bla bla bla, je pense que nous ne saurons jamais quelle est la part de responssabilité de Dave G en ce qui concerne la sortie de Tribes2 qui était complétement bugé à l’époque.
A part ca, il confirme qu’il n’y aura pas de jetpacks dans Planetside.
